Ace Hardware Punta Gorda is a locally owned and operated hardware store that is part of the larger Ace Hardware network of over 5,000 stores worldwide. As "the Helpful Place," this store is committed to providing personal service, quality products, and a convenient shopping experience to the local community. Customers praise the store's great selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and willingness to go above and beyond to assist them, even with specialized needs like finding small fasteners. The staff is described as having a strong work ethic and being particularly helpful to those with vision issues or other challenges. Despite some cramped aisles due to the store's packed inventory, the overall consensus is that this is a fantastic local hardware store. Unlike larger chains, the staff here knows the location of every item and can quickly find what customers need, often providing helpful suggestions as well. Even after sustaining damage from Hurricane Ian, the store was able to reopen and continue serving the community.
This Ace has a smaller footprint downtown but has everything I needed and awesome people the help you find what they have. Highly recommend!

I had a lock box with double cut keys that Home Depot was unable to make keys for. Margi, at the PG Ace hardware was able to find a suitable blank and although not a perfect match she was able to make me 5 working duplicates. That saved me from having to get a new lock box. Thanks.
